Today&#8217;s NHL rumours takes a look at that possibility.<\/p>\n<p>All NHL rumours come from the original source and are subject to change.<\/p>\n<h2>NHL Rumours<\/h2>\n<h3>Carter Hart Trade Possible From Flyers?<\/h3>\n<p>Rumour: Elliotte Friedman and Jeff Marek discussed the possibility of Hart being available in the off-season on the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/podcasts\/32-thoughts\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> 32 Thoughts podcast<\/a>. Friedman said there&#8217;s a chance the 24-year-old netminder would get traded in order to get some assets. Starting goaltending is hard to come by and the Sherwood Park, Alberta native could help a team out.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Monday morning 32 Thoughts news podcast, links to your preferred platform: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/io7Mr1RceU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/io7Mr1RceU<\/a> Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FriedgeHNIC\/status\/1635272298776363009?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 13, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Friedman and Marek <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2023\/02\/09\/nhl-rumours-philadelphia-flyers-winger-may-be-moved\/\" target=\"_self\">discussed other names<\/a> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/hayeske01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-13_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin Hayes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/konectr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-13_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Travis Konecny<\/a> as possible off-season moves, but Hart was the one that would grab headlines. The insiders agreed that anyone with two or three years left on their deals are a possible trade candidate. Hart has <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2022\/11\/04\/philadelphia-flyers-goaltender-impacts-early-on\/\" target=\"_self\">played in 48 games this season<\/a> and has a 2.96 goals against average and a .906 save percentage. The possible seems to be more a timeline issue than a level-of-play issue.<\/p>\n<h3>Who Would Want to Make a Carter Hart Trade<\/h3>\n<p>There are a number that would love to get their hand on the former IIHF WJC gold medalist for Canada. Could a team like the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/canadiens\/\" target=\"_self\">Montreal Canadiens<\/a> make a push for him to be the heir to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/priceca01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-03-13_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carey Price<\/a>? Hart is under contract until the end of next season with a cap hit of just under $4 million. He would be a restricted free agent with arbitration rights.<\/p>\n<p>The Flyers also have 23-year-old Sam Ersson ready to go if the Flyers do part with Hart. Trading a young goalie may be very questionable, but there could be a massive haul awaiting Philadelphia if it&#8217;s that bold. However, it could set up another team for success.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main photo by: Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time for another edition of NHL rumours.
